[Bug 51982] New: When installing Kobo for Desktop, user data meant for AppData\Local\Kobo is instead placed inside an arbitrary folder of the program's installation.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51982 Bug ID: 51982 Summary: When installing Kobo for Desktop, user data meant for AppData\Local\Kobo is instead placed inside an arbitrary folder of the program's installation. Product: Wine Version: 6.16 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: trivial Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: vorxborx(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Created attachment 70967 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=70967 Wine user registry Disclaimer: This is more of a curiosity than an issue, but I believe it may be linked to issues with other software. Summary: After installing Kobo Desktop (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=34526 see latest test result for information on how to download the installer correctly) everything worked correctly, and the program is fully functional (fantastic job!). When inspecting the program's files, attempting to find the user data, I expected to find it at: "~/.wine/drive_c/users/alex/AppData/Local/Kobo/Kobo Desktop Edition" which is where it is on a native Windows installation. However, this folder may exist, but is empty (no hidden files either). Upon inspection, the contents of this folder instead ended up inside: "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Kobo/fonts/" along with the font files expected there. Steps to reproduce: - download the installer. - install the program. - inspect the folder it was installed to. The program works fine and manages to find and write to the folder where the user data now is. I assume something went slightly wrong during installation, so I have included terminal logs on that process. I tested this on Manjaro (Wine 6.16) and KDE Neon Unstable (Wine 6.0.2) with identical results. The program in question is proprietary, so there isn't an option to inspect the way it loads the location of these files, or determines the path in the first place. I have included the user.reg, and the two installation logs, though I couldn't find anything particularly noteworthy myself.
